Eleri's stats as 'rolled' are Str: 9(-1), Dex: 15(+7), Con: 13(+3), Int: 17(+13), Wis: 11 (+1), Cha: 7(-4). This should add up to 19, meaning that I actually forgot to put in an extra point that I had. The discrepancy you saw is probably caused by the fact that Eleri is middle aged, giving her a -1 to str, dex and con, and a +1 to int, wis and cha. The human racial bonus went into int, getting her up to her current 20 intelligence.

Vista Group:

Perception, DC 21: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Eleri looks on at the two men, both now in front of her, either draw weapons or dismount. Did they see something, or were they being cautious now that they were approaching the vista?

Hello friends, AS here. Sorry it took me so long to get into this; I've spent the summer so far either away from the internet on vacation or dealing with family stuff.
Anyway, I was hoping to try out a spontaneous wordcaster for my character. The slow pace of play-by-post makes it a perfect environment for experimenting with the flexibility offered by the new system. I'll be working on my crunch and fluff throughout the week, as well as familiarizing myself with general play-by-post stuff.
